You never stop learning something about yourself and why others couldn’t comprehend what I tasted there.

Reference for coriander (cilantro)

You underestimate the Bavarian politicians. It’s not about the money (or reason), it’s all about sending a message.

I really enjoyed it and just reaatched it a year ago. Great show with a unique approach. Sad that there aren’t any current shows that are similar indeed.

That’s basically the tv series Eureka

From your comment I assume you are American, since I heard that people pack your bags at your stores. In Germany and probably most of Europe a typical checkout process works differently and probably solves the problem.

1. You put your stuff on a large transport band, emptying your cart (probably have those as well)
2. When you’re up you move your cart at the large area after the cashier
3. The cashier registers everything and pushes it to you into that big area
4. You put everything in your bags while they are working
5. Cashier finishes, you make your payment
6. You pack the last 3 items that are remaining

Some stores also introduced a simple “switch” that makes the products of the person after you slide into a seperate area, to save time .

One could say your reaction is strongly dependent on your relation to the one shooting rockets.

There are always people getting annoyed by changes, doesn’t matter what the changes are. Sometimes I get the impression that humans just need something to be annoyed about.

Not from the us but scientific research is usually very costly . They need funding to stay at the technological edge and therefore accept funding and therefore do some “shady” studies or whatever strings you might imagine.

Multiple things:

• A lot of mobile games include ridiculous micro transactions
• a lot are copy paste concepts or are missing game depth and complexity (comparable with Minesweeper or Solitaire)
• the standard input device (touch) is not great for traditional games developed for physical button games

There are definitely exceptions to the problems, but I haven’t found a mobile game yet that catches me for 100h.

Just leaving a “Aber die Spaltmaße” comment here.

But also the deciders in the dev studios, that take the money even if it doesn’t fit or don’t integrate it properly.

I don’t mind a little ad in the menu, about stuff directly related to game I’m playing. Those little “Hey we released a new content dlc to this exact game” infos can actually be informative. What I really can’t stand is stuff breaking the immersion of the game. I’m not even mad about product placements, when they fit the theme and are sparsely used.

Your focusshould be on something that catches his interest. Depending on the child I’d say choose stuff that is easily to learn but has some depth too it. If you want to invest some time do some projects with him, to give easy goals to achieve and continue. Be the rabbit hole.

How to buy a company, without actually buying the company.

Glad that yours is holding up so long. I bought a R2 around that time and keep the chassis barely 2 years. Some designer thought it was a great idea to put a single vent GPU 1cm above the HDD, resulting in regular overheating of the GPU. I extracted all the components and moved them to a new chassis. It died 4 years ago.

The Hunter: Call of the Wild. I have nothing to do with hunting. I’d never thought a hunting simulation could be my type of game, but putting headphones on and running through the woods is so relaxing.

I have an optics joke, but I can’t read it

Yeah I thought so too. But I’m not reading any comics or mangas, just plain old text books. But it’s great, that the technology is there.

They need to keep the criminals at bay.
